Sixty Hours AfiOat ON u Frail
Raft.
The Sole Survivor of the Lost
Propeller.
Almost Dead from Exposure to
Wind and Wave.

STURGEON BAY, Wis, Nov. 1.-Upto
the arrival Of the schooner "Pomeroy,"
from Chicago, which passed through
the bay to-day, it was supposed that
not u single survivor was left of the
forty or fifty people Oh board the pro.
peller "Vernon," which went Gown off
Sheboygan early last Saturday morn
ing. 1t is now known, however, that
at least one man lives to tell the tale of
that terrible night on the lake. The
Pomeroy has on board the only survi-
vor, 30 far as now known, OF that awful
disaster. The name of the man who
has been rescued from death, after he
had given up all hope Of ever again
setting his foot upon dry land, is
Alfred Stone, OF Chicago, one Of the
VernOn's crew. He had been in the
water sixty hours exposed to bitter
piercing wind, and without bite to
eat. When the Pomeroy discovered
him on raft last night, about eight
miles from Sheboygan, Git was a
clear moonlight night) Stone was so
cold as to be almost helpless, and so
weak from hunger that he could scarce
ly move. Although still very weak
from the effects OF his awful experience,
Stone was able to make II brief state
ment of the forgotten night
81 was awakened in the middle night"
he says, "Sy the cries OF the passengers
and crew, that the vessel was sink
ing. / sprang out of II
window and found myself on life
raft with six other persons. l cannot
say now who my companions were.
Part of them were members of the
crew and part were passengers. 1t
seemed only IL moment before the ves-
sci went down, and / believe all but a
few Of those on board went down with
her. do not know just how many
people were aboard at the time, but
the number could not have been far
from fifty. We passed through an
awful night. l never saw such u sea
as that which tossed over the little
raft. When daylight came We hoisted
II signal OF distress, using coat tied
TO an oar. Two vessels passed so near
us on Saturday that they must have
seen our signal yet for some reason
they apparently made no effort to
reach lis. The storm still ragged and it
may be all they could do to save them
selves. One after another my com
panions perished with the cold, or
were washed off the raft, when they
were too numb to hold any longer. We
never saw any other steamer. The
vessel went down SO suddenly the
crew had no time to man the boats
When Stone was picked up there was
the corpse Of one man ON the raft
with him, the others having persisted
several hours before. Stone says this
man was one OF the crew whose name
he did not know.

man named Hodel. Hodel had been

the flames before they had gained
much headway, The fire had started

Cnnncil of MINK lhIefs

BISMARCK, Oak, Nov. 2-There has
been considerable excitement among
settlers and in military circles over Il
report that the Sioux and Crow In
dluns are about to unite and take the
warpath ii the government insists on
enforcing the land severalty bill. A
council held by Sioux chiefs mt Slant
ing Rock to day was called to consider
the question. All the principal chiefs
expressed their opinion freely, among
them Hunting Antelope, Mad Deer,
Red Fish, Cottonwood and Gal. The
last named is the most intelligent and
influential chief in the tribe. All but
Gal said they had always felt friendly
towards the whites. Gal arose with II
scowl Of contempt and said he would
talk differently. He had not always
felt friendly to the whites. He fought
them and tried to kill them. The
whites and the Grows fought him ut
the Custer battle and tried to kill him,
but now he is ready to take men and
help the whites in settling this trouble
with the Crows. He should like to
show the whites his friendly feeling.
Gal then turned to Major Mclaughlin,
the Indian agent at Standing Rock,
and expressed the utmost confidence
in him and friendship for the whites.
Sitting Bull had nothing to say. He
is very jealous of Gals power and it is
said was displeased with his speech us
he fears it will give him additional
prominence with the whites.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Broken Down Counterfeiter
PardOned By the President.
His Faithful Wife Struggles
Bravely in His Behalf.
Liberty Refused to a Wyoming
Stage Robber.
Pardons by the President.

WASHINGTON, June 3d. The presi.
dent has acted upon the application for
pardon Of a number of convicted Grimm
ais. The most important case IS that Of
ThOs Ballard, a notorious counterfeiter.
who was sentenced Jan. 1870 to thirty
years imprisonment at Albany peniten-
tiary. The president has granted him a
pardon. He said the prisoner was sup
posed to be n of the most expert coun-
terfeiters in the country. He had been in
prison equal to more than fifteen years,
allowing the deduction he has secured
for good behavior. Has grown to be an
old man. broken down physically and
mentally. His conduct has been such as
to cause much interest to be felt in his case
by many good citizens and officials con-
cerned in his conviction. His wife, who
has chung to him with a true woman's de
yotion all these years, has worn herself
out in her efforts to support and educate
her daughter, Just now reaching wonan
hood, pleads for her erring and penitent
husbands release. There is universal be-
lief on the part of those acquainted with
the case that the prisoners reformation
is complete and that in no circumstance
could this broken down old man, whose
mind is fast giving way with his body, be
a menace to society If liberated. Il IN
of opinion that in this case the law has
been fully indicated.
Pardons have also been granted as
follows: To VIM. Z. Moore, sentenced
May 2, 1884, to four years for manslaugh-
ter; to Ben Mercer, sentenced Oct. l6,
1886, to one years imprisonment for VIC
lation of the internal revenue laws;
to Samuel R. Jones, convicted Oct,
30, 1885, and sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment for violation of the internal
revenue laws, and to Jacob Heicle, con-
victed of bigamy in Utah.
A pardon has been refused in the case
Of John Irvine, sentenced in Wyoming,
Feb. 20, 1879, to imprisonment for life
for mail robbery. In declining to grant u
pardon in this case, the president says he
cannot quite bring himself to the point
of %pardoning this convict now. This
seems to be a bad time to pardon such an
offence. when they are quite in vogue and
their commission frequent.

A Great AR Ship.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-A circular
has been received at the navy department
from a Chicago man, announcing that he
has solved the problem of aerial naviga-
ton and is about to build a great air ship,
which will start out on June /, of next
year, on a voyage of discovery to the
North pole. He estimates that a months
time will suffice for the voyage, allowing
ten days or two weeks for scientific OBJ
servation of Arctic phenomena. The ship
will carry 200 persons. and travel at a
speed of seventy five miles an hour. The
inventor undertakes to carry with him
representative of the press and scientists.
The essential feature of the discovery con.
sists of a great cylinder built of thin
plates Of steel, to which a passenger car
is attached. For %ascenial force, instead
of gas, partial vacuum is used, and eight
~exhausting screw propellers, driven by
electric secondary batteries, prOpel the
craft.

are taking part l the move. All Gentiles
are opposed. The convention met to-
day and was managed by church officials.
Apostle Franklin D. Richards, poIyga.
mist, opened the convention with prayer,
p~raising those suffering martyrdom from
conscience by confinement in prisons.
There was a great wrangle about the oath,
many being opposed to taking any statu
tory oath. There was some denouncing
of the Edmunds Tucker oath as Il bitter
pill, but others saw it was no use meeting
unless they showed the country that they
could take the oath. The dominant senti.
ment seemed to be everything necessary

Changes in the Public Service

WASHINGTON, June 80. Incident to
the incoming of the new fiscal year, a
number of changes in the public service
will occur tomorrow. In the consular
service of the government the present sys-
TEN of compromising consuls by fees will,
under the terms of the new appropria
ton bill, be supplemented to a large ex-
tent by a system of graded salaries.
Twenty clerks in the treasury department
have been dismissed, to take effect to-
morrow, because OF the failure of congress
to make provisions for the payment of
their salaries. A number of minor
changes, such as the increase
and reduction of salaries of certain
officers will take place morrow
as does also the executive order
consolidating the national revenue district
and reducing a number of collectors and
other employees. The judicial branch of
the government is increased by two
judges. The 20 per cent. reduction in
the salaries of assistant district attorneys
goes into effect to morrow. The new ap.
preparations will cause about twenty four
changes in the agricultural department.
Twelve new appointments will be made
and about twelve persons serving under
temporary appointments will be trans
ferred to the permanent rolls.
